History has pivoted on ordinary people who when faced with extraordinary circumstances drew on some deeply submerged essence of their humanity and were, in those most harrowing of moments, transformed into extraordinary people. There are those who held themselves of no accord who stood in harm’s way or entered the dangers of the fray and […]
Fear – How We Create It Fear. We all have it. Sometimes it’s just this slight apprehension, or this bit of inner angst, or this uncomfortable twinge that we experience. At other times it’s utterly overwhelming, leaving us helplessly paralyzed and violently shaken right down to the core of everything that we are. At certain […]
What we want is opposite of what we have. We want world peace, but instead we are beset with world chaos. We want the hungry fed, but millions go hungry and millions more die from that very hunger. We want medical cures to the diseases that ravage lives, families and nations, but untold thousands perish […]
Self-esteem is really the accumulation of beliefs that we have collected about ourselves. We arrange these many beliefs in some sort of composite much like a tile mosaic. Each piece is some shard taken from some experience or encounter or event or circumstance that has come our way at some time in our lives. These […]

We Are a Mess We are a mess. We are a mess because we are a people on a mad rant. Sadly, we have become blinded to the fact that we are blinded by a host of pathetically self-serving agendas. And the pathetic nature of these agendas are evidenced by the fact that they are […]
Why is The World Like This? Why is the world like this anyway? Why is the world so much of what we don’t want it to be like, and a whole lot less of what we do want it to be like? Why is it so incredibly difficult to create the kind of world that […]
We all throw around the idea of having a purpose, or not having one, or wondering if we’re supposed to have one, or whatever we’re wondering. We wonder if we really need a purpose, and if so do we create it or does it already exist and we just haven’t happened to happen upon it […]
